For the occasional singal or ringtone rap song I want to stick on the iPod for working out, I use iTunes, but for pretty much everything else, I like to buy the physical album. Same with books. Give me a hard copy, go have fun with your Kindle or whatever.<br /><br />Of course, I have a real reason. My old computer crashed. I found a way to get all my old iTuned music crossed over to the new computer just fine...except for some of my old music. See, some of my old music, well, about $800 worth of songs and a few videos (and by a few I mean every season of Scrubs) was all purchased on my old bank account...the one I used in college.<br /><br />Well, iTunes wont authorize it unless I give them the account number and the address associated with the account number. So I have $800 worth of music just sitting on my computer that I can't play. FML.<br /><br />So yeah, I'll keep buying CDs so that when the next computer crashes, its a matter of hours, not (as of this point) months to get it all back.<br /><br />I still use the iPod for listening to music though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-8871572195416560592009-08-25T08:06:17.326-04:002009-08-25T08:06:17.326-04:00"'Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better..."'Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better without their lead singer'<br /><br />except that he writes the band's songs... *rolls eyes*"<br /><br />Well, daaay-um. I'll do you the favor of reinterpreting that sentence as it was probably intended:<br /><br />"Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better if their lead singer found someone else to sing."<br /><br />I don't know about you, but I would assume that someone who doesn't like the vocals <i>probably</i> isn't familiar with the band's interworkings. But that's just me - I also don't read the biographies of people I don't care about.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10366082257524900591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-21094069268093335542009-08-25T01:54:58.525-04:002009-08-25T01:54:58.525-04:00"Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better with..."Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better without their lead singer"<br /><br />except that he writes the band's songs... *rolls eyes*Jaysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989165537637020369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-81462017511180301452009-08-24T23:31:00.330-04:002009-08-24T23:31:00.330-04:00Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better without th...Smashing Pumpkins would be a lot better without their lead singer.<br /><br />But then, I'm more of a Love and Rockets / The Cult / Siouxsie kinda guy.leBolidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06216003403343955612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-48407997968707208672009-08-24T23:25:42.580-04:002009-08-24T23:25:42.580-04:00I like the Wall-E/Watchmen mashup trailer:

(i.e. Quicktime and the iPod stuff)<br /><br />First place I hit for quick earwig expungment is Youtube, odds are there are at least three versions of whatever it is available there.

We still use muzzleloaders, and I use a Victrola from the 1920s too, though its menue options are limited to "on, off, reproducer head up or down, and crank". <br /><br />People still snail-mail us for catalogs. Then they snail-mail their orders with something from the 20th century called a "check" as payment. -- LyleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55886141778853595122009-08-24T20:23:08.801-04:002009-08-24T20:23:08.801-04:00I'm not much of an album buyer, or music buyer...I'm not much of an album buyer, or music buyer but I do like the concept of being able to pick and choose rather than being forced to buy 10 songs of questionable quality to get 2 good ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5839168045071054602009-08-24T19:51:29.948-04:002009-08-24T19:51:29.948-04:00Me too. iTunes is useful for singles, but for ful...Me too. iTunes is useful for singles, but for full albums I still buy CDs.
